About “I Love Kanye”

“I Love Kanye” was added to the tracklist of The Life of Pablo after his live performance in Madison Square Garden on February 11th, 2016. The song is a satirical take on the “Kanye Loves Kanye” meme, using this space to talk about himself from the third person.

By reciting many of the same criticisms that others have of him, he says them in a way that makes them sound ridiculous and petty. Many of Ye’s followers resent his new artistic path of bad moods, angry outbursts, and narcissism and wish he would return to the wisdom he promoted on The College Dropout.

Prior to TLOP releasing, “I Love Kanye” was featured in a Saturday Night Live skit that revolved around SNL’s Kyle Mooney challenging Ye to a freestyle battle.

On March 30th, 2016 Kanye tweeted the lyrics to this song in a bunch of tweets.
